Brand - I think if I had fleshed out the spells section as I planned, your fears would've been put to rest. All of that was intended as hyperbole and exaggeration, the result of an unreliable narrator. I'll give it some work when I get home today, but believe when I say being OP was not my goal.

IC post is up.

I began with the Order of The Rose and Circle of Magi in Valeal, and I opened with a slave scene in Ferros because I recall Raid's character being a slave. I don't know if you guys had already worked out some kind of agreement as to whether Elisa was already purchased by Lucian's character or not, but I thought it may be an acceptable place to open in Ferros.

Lucian and Elayne, your characters are nobility, so if you can't think of an excuse for your character to be visiting an Outpost, then you may start your characters elsewhere and i will write to accommodate.

I also think i'm changing a few minor aspects of Ferros. I think slaves, regardless of where they are from originall, will be treated equally. As in theres no longer a distinction between Gorgon and Valeal slaves from the others. Because the idea seemed kind of implausible and pointless. Overall, how slaves are treated will depend on who the master is.

Slavery is now a thing in all of the kingdoms, not just Ferros and Kain.

Ferros and Kain however treat slavery fairly well in regards to most of the other kingdoms, with slaves in Ferros capable of attaining a citizenship status if their masters are generous. Ferros doesn't have a lot of people anymore, so they'll do whatever it takes to boost their population.

@ Sedate, that is fine. Tell me when you want me to look at it again. I think the problem was I didn't really read it as an exaggeration in the CS, so all you really need to do is change some wording around to clarify that it's an exaggeration and you should be fine.

Eh, was part of this back on the old guild when this was still casual. Looks like there's been some heavy changes so I'll give it a read through and see how much I'll have to edit my old sheet to make it work.

Give it another look when you've got the time. I left the spells section as it was for now, as I'm hesitant to make any assumptions as to how magic functions.

Yeah, it's perfect now.

As far as magic goes, your free to get as creative with it as you want within reason. No destroying armies with a single spell, but if you can think of creative ways to use magic you welcomed to do so as long as you can write it in a realistic way that relates to your specified branch.

For example, you chose pyromancy, you could say your character prefers to cast lightning spells by supercharging the friction in the air... etc. I mean you don't need to explain it every time, but just one solid explanation in a post will last throughout the RP.... if any of that makes sense.

Your character is accepted.

Yeah, looks great man. As people start their opening posts, the next IC posts will probably be bringing your characters together and getting the real conflicts started.

The next IC posts will either come once everyone in a group has posted, or in two weeks. Whichever comes first.

So yeah...


Name: Adune

House Name: None

Age: 30 years of existence for he was 17 when he died, and it has been just over 13 years as a Shade.

Appearance: He currently possesses the remnants an old and run down suit of armour. It is a massive piece and towers at 6’8 and weighs just over 75lb. Adorned with torn and tattered cloth, rusted and damaged pieces, the suit is nevertheless fully functional. A constantly black smoke swirls at its feet, a tell-tale sign to the true nature of this odd being.

Homeland: He hailed from Kain.

Race: Shade

Spells:
  • Constructs - Normally paired with an Elemental school of Destros magic, Adune uses this school to strengthen and enhance the creations he brings forth through Summoning. They are still imperfect, but his Summons have more presence and weight to their existence thanks to the synergy of these two schools; enough to withstand the additional burden of an application of Alchemy.
  • Alchemy - Primarily used in combat, though Adune does rely on the conveniences it provides at time. Some of his more favoured alterations are to increase the mass of his weapons to provide exceptional striking power, or render them fragile enough to shatter and spray deadly shrapnel.
  • Summoning - As much as a school for combat as it is for convenience, Adune puts the magic to work creating anything from a length of rope if he should need it, or the weapons he wields in combat. Inanimate objects are his main forte and he’s rarely dabbled in the other possibilities of this school.

Zombehs, you're accepted.

Zombehs and sedate, there are currently two groups, one in Oslo and one in Ferros. Feel free to join whichever seems more interesting. If you want an idea of where each one will lead, the Oslo mission will focus on the persecution of mages and the instability of Valeal. The Ferros mission will probably revolve around Ferros' role in the Valarian rebellion and other conflicts among Ferronian nobility.

Either mission will have their fair share of action and time for dialogue.
